I liked this. I can see why others don't or didn't. I mean, you have Jordan who is a web designer who got dragged into going to a Tyler Curtis concert with his sister. Wait, hold up, let's talk about this sister, Bec, could she get any more superficial and shallow? YUCK! I wanted to slap her throughout this entire book. Seriously. Did not like her attitude....AT ALL. Even at the end, it kind of skeeved me out. Okay, back to Jordan and his serious dislike for all things Tyler Curtis. That is, until he meets him. Then he realizes he's not the same person as you see on stage. Tyler and Jordan were MADE FOR EACH OTHER! 2 peas in a pod, those two.
Then some crazy things happen and watch out for new and improved Tyler Curtis.
I did think it was a tad too long, then some things were glossed over when I could have used more details about. (view spoiler)[I wanted to know more about Alec's step dad and his brother. How did Alec take hearing those stories? Did he know about Alec? (hide spoiler)]
(view spoiler)[I thought Jordan wanted to live in the quiet life. I thought Alec wanted out of the business? Why did he go back? Is it less stressful now just being a composer? Is Jordan working still or living off of Alec's fame? What about Bec, is she going to be big time now? (hide spoiler)]
Overall, it was good, but yes, I through reality out of the window.

This was intense and action packed. I liked how Reese tried to fight his attraction to Alex. It was a cuteness in the middle of a gritty tale.
I also This was intense and action packed. I liked how Reese tried to fight his attraction to Alex. It was a cuteness in the middle of a gritty tale.
I also really enjoyed the relationship between Reese and Avery. Again, it was a cuteness in the middle of a gritty tale. It provided some humor in an otherwise dark story.
I liked how the story unfolded. I do wish there was more intimate times between Reese and Alex, and no I'm not talking about sex. I'm talking about close and quiet moments. I felt like there was too much go-go-go and little downtime. I wanted to see them talk more.
I wouldn't mind reading more from these guys....more
I KNEW this book was going to tear me into shreds. I have a thing for completely "broken" boys. I my heart BROKE for Jonah. From the minute

I KNEW this book was going to tear me into shreds. I have a thing for completely "broken" boys. I my heart BROKE for Jonah. From the minute he came on page I knew I was in love with him and I knew he'd break my heart.
Jonah is suffering from a mental illness that even his 3 therapists have a hard time diagnosing. But, he's trying, and does a biannual "vacation" at the Riverbend Behavioral Health Facility. Speaking of his therapists...
[image]
I loved how he was "honest" with his therapists. If he didn't want to do something he didn't. If someone asked him a question he was blunt with his answers. He was real with them, but then again he kept so much back from them. I liked that. I liked how he knew he needed help, but he just wasn't ready to accept REAL help.
I loved how he opened up to Cam. I loved how their relationship was easy, because they both had so much hard stuff in their lives already. They needed something easy. No, I'm not saying everything was hunky dory; I'm saying they fell in with each other easily. They both "got" each other. I loved how Cam wanted to help Jonah.
While Jonah was going through his stuff, Cam had his own ordeal. Granted his, on the larger scale, were "easier" to fix. (view spoiler)[I actually hated his family. I thought his dad was a dick and I thought Cam should have laid him out when he had the chance. I also thought the rest of them could go to hell. Especially the end?! NO FUCKING WAY! Did they ever find out if Kenneth was skimming? (hide spoiler)]
There's so much I could say about Jonah's delusions and his mental health, but there are no words to describe what's he's going through. You just have to read it to find out and I hope you fall in love with Jonah and Cam as much as I did. They will never have a "perfect" relationship, because how can they? But, I believe in them. I believe that whatever life throws at them, they'll find a way through it and be stronger for it. They're solid and I know they'll be okay.
J.K. Hogan is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. She has a way of pulling me into her stories--even stories I didn't even want to read in the first place, ie. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
What happened with Azil or whatever his name was? Do we just wait til he gets his own book to get answers, since it'll most likely happen now? I likedWhat happened with Azil or whatever his name was?

Ugh. We barely learned anything. Can we have people that talk and stop focusing so much on the sex or getting distracted? Is that too much to ask?

Lately I've been feeling like Richards books are getting shorter and shorter and she's just putting words on the screen. Books just aren't the same as the beginning of the series Wolves of Stone Ridge. ...more
Too damn cute. Hated Quinn's friends, for the most part, but I adored Spencer and Quinn together. I want more. This ended way too soon. Yeah, I'm not Too damn cute. Hated Quinn's friends, for the most part, but I adored Spencer and Quinn together. I want more. This ended way too soon. Yeah, I'm not done with these two.

I'm having a hard time rating this one. I really liked it, but I was kind of hoping for more. I think I wanted it to top Fever Pitch. I LOVED Baz and I'm having a hard time rating this one. I really liked it, but I was kind of hoping for more. I think I wanted it to top Fever Pitch. I LOVED Baz and Elijah and I thought they would be amazing together and they were, but I needed more from them. I missed their attitudes. Sure, we got glimpses, but I wanted more. I understand they were working through stuff in their heads, but I still missed it.
This was definitely the grittiest of the 3. Is that the word I want? Gritty? Yeah. It's dark and depressing. These two definitely have their struggles they need to work out.
Elijah, oh my sweet Elijah. I loved how he wasn't okay even after everything that happened in the last book. I loved how he was still adjusting. I loved how he wasn't comfortable being a charity case. I loved your loved for RuPaul.
Baz. Oh the pain nobody knows you're in. (view spoiler)[I would have actually have liked to have seen more of the routine he had to do each night with Elijah. Did they set up their own system like he did with Marius? What about when he had to use the TENS? (hide spoiler)] I love how you swept in and protected Elijah. I loved how you were just there. I loved how when Elijah wanted something he made it happen.
Once again, the friendships in this book were outstanding with Aaron, Giles, Mina, Jilly, Damien, Marius, Walter, Kelly, Liz, Pastor, and a newcomer Lejla.
So incredible and I want more. I want more from this series. I want more from these friends.
I wanted to like this more than I did. I think I needed more together time. There were times when I really felt for Caleb, the prom scene broke my heaI wanted to like this more than I did. I think I needed more together time. There were times when I really felt for Caleb, the prom scene broke my heart and I just cried and cried. Then again there were times when I wanted to punch him in the throat for being a stubborn bastard. I mean, I can see the first couple times of walking away, but repeatedly? If a guy (or girl) wasn't being sincere do you think they'd come back for more rejection over and over again? No!
I really liked Nathan. I liked his determination to make Caleb listen. I just liked him.
I normally don't read sports themed books, but this one wasn't focused on hockey. There's only one time when Nathan is actually on the ice.
Overall, not too shabby. I'm kinda hoping for a Lowell/Brent book next :)...more
This book pissed me off so much. I loved Stevie, he was great. Everything else? Nope. Well, I liked the co-workers and stuff, they were great to standThis book pissed me off so much. I loved Stevie, he was great. Everything else? Nope. Well, I liked the co-workers and stuff, they were great to stand by Jesse's side through everything. Drew and Kyle pissed me off the most though. ARGH! This was me while reading:
